At the Cipriani 42nd Street event, Vergara emceed a lingerie show benefiting the Seven Bar Foundation, which supports Microfinance for women around the globe. "It's fantastic," said Vergara. "It's a cause that's very close to my heart, because as a woman, as a single mother, sometimes ... all you need is somebody to lend you a hand [and] believe in you, so you're able to make a better life for yourself and others in your family."

While happy to host the lingerie show, there was one role Vergara was relieved not to play: "Thank God it's not me in the G-string," she admitted with a laugh.
